Sedro-Woolley Cemetery

MarieHassard — 7 Aug 2008 7:11:54 GMT

Is there anyone who can take photos at Sedro-Woolley Cemetery? Is there an address for the cemetery to which I could write for information on burials there?

Hazel, are you still on this list? I wrote you at an address from 2001, but it was returned.

If anyone can help, a message to me at heirhead at 3riversdbs dot net would be great.

With thanks,
Marie

Bonnie Queen Waldron

MarieHassard — 14 Sep 2006 9:31:56 GMT

I am looking for info on Bonnie Queen O'Connor Waldron. Bonnie Queen was originally from Anacortes, born about 1907. Her father was Coleman Queen. At some point in the early 1930s she was in Hawaii, married to O'Connor. In 1948 in Hawaii she married Waldron. When she died (as Bonnie Waldron, in Hawaii) her remains went home to Anacortes. I assume she was buried as Bonnie Queen Waldron.

I am looking for her date of death (probaby in the 1950s), an obituary, date of burial, where buried. Perhaps there is a Queen plot.

Can someone help?

Locating descendants of OLE HANSEN

josteinmolde — 24 Jan 2005 1:56:03 GMT

According to my information a certain Ole Hansen, born 1836 in Norway, was living at Samish near La Conner, Skagit County, in 1879. He was married to an Indian woman and had 8 children with her at the time. He was also one of the first settlers in Washington state, having come there probably around 1860.

Is there anyone who has access to the 1880 census and is willing to check it for me?

Ole may be listed with the surname Sagen, but I doubt it.

Family in Norway is very interested in finding out about this man and his descendants.

Sincerely
Jostein Molde

Richard Elliott "Dick" Young - German teacher at Queen Anne High in Seattle

arlomom — 26 May 2007 6:47:47 GMT

Hello everyone...

I've learned that my favorite teacher, Richard Elliott Young (known to his students as "Herr Young" and his friends as Dick) passed away on October 4, 2001 in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. He was born on July 31, 1938.

Despite my best efforts here and elsewhere, I cannot locate an obituary for him. I'm very interested in reading any obituary as well as learning where he is buried.

He taught German at Queen Anne High School in Seattle Washington during the 1970s.

I expect that an obituary was published in the Skagit Valley Herald (the local newspaper for Sedro-Woolley, Washington) but perhaps one appeared in the Seattle newspapers.

He was 63 at the time of his death and I believe he was married, although I do not know his wife's name. I don't know if they had any children.

Any information you can provide about Dick will be greatly appreciated! Please email me directly at arlomom AT yahoo DOT com as I very seldom visit this site.

Thank you for your help!

Best...

Herbert and Julia Easton

herbertkinsey — 3 Jan 2006 7:27:01 GMT

Would like to have some help in finding information on Herbert and Julia Easton.
They are my Grandparents and I just found out that they were in this area.
The 1920 census shows them to be in Snohomish county, Outlook pct.
However the 1930 census shows them to be in Anacortes, Skagit county
and what I believe to be 2010 L Ave. Not sure of this as I was always under
the impression that my mother Carol and her twin sister Clara always lived
on Camano Island, on a section that fell into the bay sometime after they
moved, when ever that was I am not sure. Herbert was 52 in the 1930 census
and he passed in 1936 in Everett. Julia passed in Jan 1967. Any information
will be greatly appreciated. I will also do Genealogy research in the Allen
county area of Indiana for others that need it.

Searching for petition for naturalization - John B. Zacherle

MichaelZacherle — 4 Nov 2006 7:36:35 GMT

Hello,

one of my relatives (John B. Zacherle) filed his declaration of intention in Skagit (Skagit County Naturalization Record, ID 20823, Volume 1, Page 46) in 1892. To be able to link him to his parents/grandparents I need more information (i.e. place of birth) and am therefore looking for his petition for naturalization record. I hope to find it in Skagit, too!

Where can I get any naturalization record? Is there a single court (ore more) who did that work between 1892 and 1900?

Any help is highly welcome!

Best,

Michael Zacherle

In 1940 my grandparents were still living in the home they built around 1905 in Anacortes. I know its approximte location but no longer sure. I know they ran a dress making/repair shop out of there and Grandma had the first gas handcrank gas pump/station in town in front of her house that my grandfather ran. Can anyone give me the address from an old directory?
It would be listed under William and Beta Sewell. I know you came up the main street from downtown and it was up on the hill a couple of blocks on the left. I am planning on coming up this weekend to get pictures in the graveyard and would sure like to get a picture of the house. They hand carried all the wood from the mill at the far end of town to the house after work at night, at least that is the family story and I am sticking to it... thank you Bob Sewell

Does anyone live near that area that knows of a cemetery in or close to Clear Lake? We live in Renton and if there is one then I'd like to drive up there and possiably see if they are buried there but like I said, only one website has listed a cemetery there so I'm guessing it must be small and or on private land.

I have a McDougall family (Albert & Justina) in Skagit county, at Fidalgo in 1910.

Albert died in 28 Feb. 1911. He should be buried in Fidalgo or Anacortes. I am not that familiar with genealogy in this area and don't know how to find them in a cemetery.

Justina nee Hodges is sometimes Justrina and she married a George Cook after Albert died. They are on the 1920 census with her son Allyn McDougall. George is married to another lady by the 1930 census and no sign of Justina. She may be buried with Albert McDougall, her first husband. Any help appreciate.

Albert & Justina are from Ontario, the Chatham area.

Centenial Robbery and shoot out in Sedro Woolley

RobinBarnett222 — 14 Jun 2004 12:00:18 GMT

I am leaving messages to try to find news articles about the Sedro Woolley Centenial robbery and shoot-out. Our family history says our uncle was involved and was the one who escaped. Three were killed and one escaped, probably wounded. If anyone out there knows when the Sedro Woolley Centenial was and how to find the news articles, which I suppose were a sensation for a smaller community, I would love to know who to contact. I am house bound with a handicapped daughter and cannot drive around to find these articles or I would try the Sedro Woolley Library or Newspaper if there is one. Thanks. Robin
